Craft completions while camping

Over the Summer while we have been away I have been getting on with either finishing or starting various hand work projects.

I finished all the stitching blocks that I am going to do for a quilt that displays some of the kids Bible memory verses from school from last year. Yay, now onto the patchwork to put it all together.

I started an applique using Asian woven fabrics - eventually it will be the front of a messenger style bag for me.

I finished the hand piecing of these stretched look hexagons that I showed you when I started - here. I made a block big enough to make a new wallet and another little block to hold all my loyalty cards.

As you can see I am currently enjoying using my collection of Asian woven fabrics. So different to the normal American quilting cottons and such gorgeous textures.

I really enjoyed the hand stitching. Lately I have found myself reverting back to hand stitching things. I guess as the kids become older it is easier to do work by hand.

I like these very much. The texture of the wovens is really different and nice too. I just love to hand piece, especially paper piecing. I like something to do with my hands in the evening. Go see what I'm making by hand too. LeeAnna lapaylor.blogspot.com

Lovely, I too spend a fair bit of time hand stitching, its mostly why I've been suffering and slowly recovering from carpel tunnel outbreak. I've never used the Asian woven fabrics, where do you buy them?
